Vulcan of Rome

l 'll sleep at his feet
l 'll bathe in his water
l'll choke in his heat
forgetting it's daughter

a pleasure boat calls
a sight seeing tour
Aeolian relax,
they fear not the facts

there's a crater above black
but wont worry me
l'll ignore all read facts
and just swim in the sea

so a sip of the wine
and then l'll fine
myth God Vulcan, Rome
i'm told, he's not home

l try not to think
if his times is to blink
that he has a lie in
as l sip on my gin

its a sight prettily
no sign hostility 
but this trip to Italy
Vulcano ,  Sicily
.................................worries me !
